Exterior renovations are almost complete at the former Howard Shoes building, 5 East Huron Street. Iskalo Development is seeking a retailer or restaurant tenant for the striking 4,500 sq.ft. property. The building’s distinctive terra cotta façade has been repaired and new storefront windows were installed.
The interior of the building, with its highly distinctive terrazzo floors and ornate aquatic-themed wall frescos intact, will be finished to a tenant’s needs. Parking is available after 5:00 pm at the Electric Tower lot.
Located at the corner of E. Huron and Washington streets, the building was constructed in 1946 as a Waldorf Lunch, a popular restaurant at the time which had 75 locations throughout the northeast. The building later became home to Howard Shoes which it remained for many years until the venerable shoe store closed a few years ago. Iskalo acquired the building in 2006.
The building is located across the street from Electric Tower, the former Niagara Mohawk Building that the developer renovated for multi-tenant use. The property is one block from Main Street, the Hyatt, and Fountain Plaza office buildings. New residential developments including Holling Place, Ellicott Lofts, Ellicott Commons, IS Lofts, Oak School Lofts, Buehl Block and The Belesario are also nearby.
